Four thousand men are wanted. A statement by the secre- tary of the navy says: “There are no better soldiers in the world than those in the United States marine corps, familiarly known as ‘soldiers of the sea.” They won places by their splendid bearing, courage and bravery. Always among the first, and often the first, ‘to land whenever the country needs trained, armed men, they have borne themselves in such a manner as to win complete admiration and full- est .confldence of the American peo- i ple. Service in the Marine corps is a badge of honor, and promotion in the corps can be attained only by merit. In no other military service is promotion more certain to. a man who ' demonstrates his capacity. “Ycung men with real American stuff ‘ready for service in all parts of the world on land and zea will find it a rlace where they can serve their country in a way to win Its gratituie with th of winning. distinction Colonef Koosevelt says’ * finer body of men in tha world than the “Unfted' States mdrine corps: It has behind it a record of generations of honorable service in war to the country.

In this crisis every young American of the right sort should jump at the chance to get in the marines.” Pictures show marines fighting in Haitl and mounting a five-inch gun. .

Josh played on two Giant pennant winners and made a catch in the 1912 world’s series which put thousands of dollars into the New York and Bos- ton treasuries. But for a catch by | Devore in ,the third game Boston would have won the series in four games,, one of them being a tie. As it was the series stretched into eight sames, and after the fourtlr game all 8oes to the clubs. Devore, Ames and Groh were sent to Cincinnati in the Fromme dgal in 1912, but after being released to Phil- adelphia Devore landed with the Bos- ton Braves in time to get a $5,000 slice which went to the individual Braves for beating the Athletics in the world’s series of 1914.
